HumanLight is a holiday celebrated around December 23rd specifically to
acknowledge reason, family, friendship, and other shared, secular values of humankind.
The HumanLight Committee is hosting a HumanLight Holiday card and ornament design contest
for secularists of all ages. Contestants should design an artistic
expression to positively address these questions or some aspect of the HumanLight holiday.
What do we have to celebrate during the winter holiday season? What do
you hope for in the future? What's the Humanist view/perspective?
ELIGIBILITY: All are welcome to enter!
Category 1: Ages 11 and under.
Category 2: Ages 12-17.
Category 3: Ages 18 and up.
One entry per artist. All media, (painting, printmaking, collage, digital
art, photography, or perhaps something even more creative?) is accepted.
TO APPLY: Email the image as a high resolution (at least 300 dpi) JPEG

In the body of the email, include the artist's name, age, what country and
state (if it applies) he or she is from, and what method he or she used to
create the image.
